Hi
My BB 69 Camaro is saging on one side, Thinking of buying repo but assembly line look that Heartbeat city sells for $408.00 , Are these any good ?? Just wanted to get some input or is there another avenue I should go.
Thanks for your help.

Ken, I bought a set of assembly line/factory correct multi-leaf springs for my 69 Camaro from Heartbeat city. In my opinion they were worth the cost.

Does Heartbeat carry the BOB HARRIS repros? I have used 2 sets of BOB Harris's CORRECT rear leaf springs and they are great.

I've been looking for a resto set for a 70 Nova 375 car, and have been coming up empty handed..

What I did was purchase a set of Eaton 5 leaf, which do not look original. I then took them apart for the Eaton primary leaf, and reassembled with the other 4 original leafs. I also got correct looking pads from somewhere. I painted them with OER's Leaf Spring paint, which gives them the heat treated look. The result is a new-acting, original-looking set.

The sliders for the ends of the spring with the correct rectangle protrusion which fits in the rectangle bulge on the spring ends are available from EATON for about $1 each.... I think the min order is $20.

Are any of you readers familiar with DAYTON Springs. They are a large mfg of springs and reproduction OE leaf springs.

Probably no way of learning if DAYTON mfg the private label springs for all the mentioned vendors.
